The NBA All-Star Weekend 2025 came shortly after the historic trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Dallas Mavericks shocked the world by sending their superstar to the Los Angeles franchise.
Everything that had been built since 2018 was essentially "thrown away" by the Mavs' management. The move had a significant impact on Doncic's mental state. He revealed that he skipped the All-Star Game to take that week to "disconnect."
"Honestly, I was taking my mind off basketball for a bit. But, I'm excited to come back and play. I've missed a lot of time. I had never missed so much time before. It's new to me. But I was excited to get back out there and play," Doncic said in comments reported by The Athletic.
